Walden Savings Bank’s 22 Days Of Giving
#WSBGives
Walden Savings Bank and its employees to donate nearly $21,000 to local causes throughout the holiday season
Our region is home to so many important causes, and Walden Savings Bank is proud to lend a helping hand to support the great work that is being done close to home. Last year our employees pitched in more than 1,800 community service hours through our Community Service Program, which offers employee volunteers to local organizations.The end of the year brings no greater joy than the opportunity to do our part to support our neighbors in need. That’s why, this year, we’ve established a new initiative to give back even more to the people and organizations who make a difference in our community.
22 Days of Giving was created to complement year-round philanthropic efforts throughout the holiday season. Each of our Bank’s 22 departments has selected a local cause, or causes, to benefit from funds raised during organized monthly dress down days.We invite you to learn more about these inspiring organizations below, and to join the conversation on social media by following the hashtag #WSBGives to learn more about why each organization was selected.
